How many overseas military ballots have yet to be counted?
I now know better.
Lisa Murkowski may become an usurper of a Senator.
I hope Joe Miller drags her through another month of recounts, wear her down mentally. The liberal left of Alaska thinks it has more power than the rest of the state.
I cannot predict the future but I suspect some very tense times in the near future.
I would say the lesson learned in Alaska is if you are unhappy with Senator Lisa...it’s best to avoid the Republican primary and vote long and hard for the Democrat running. I’d give up on the state mechanism working and just settle for the lesser of evils.
We have a continuation of the corrupt behavior in connection with the results of the Republican primary. The Republicans are no better than the Democrats when it comes to obeying the law. Laws are for the little people not the elite Republicans or Democrats. Disgusting!
We have a country built on "guidelines" not laws, whether it be immigration laws, primary results, or counting write-in ballots. Where is our country headed?
cheating.
the ruling class doesn’t care about the law, when the law gets in the way of their continuing to rule us.
The vote counters must be getting writer’s cramp.
Oh really, Cow? Then why did you put so much effort into having a list of write-ins available or having your voters wear wrist bands with your name spelled on it correctly?
Very sad when a person stoops to the level Lisa Murjowski has.
Challenge every vote, even if that Oval is not filled in 100% completely.
It looks like the fat lady is not going to sing any time soon. Probably going to be a long court battle?
It just shows how desperately congress critters cling to their position. It’s a matter of life and death to them. Nothing else matters.
Term limits is the answer to relieve them of their agony.
If the law states the name must be spelled correctly, then she loses. Courts have to uphold the law right? Or is that just crazy thinking on my part?
I say, even if the federal courts deny Miller's request, go all the way to SCOTUS. W did in 2000. The contested votes were from the state of Florida. Alaska is saying that Miller can't override the state and go to the feds for a ruling. W already proved you can in 2000 with Florida.
I say go for it Joe. All the way to SCOTUS if necessary.
Two issues. I think they should only allow exact spelling of names. This (close enough) stuff to count every vote no matter how they failed to vote correctly is bull.
Second, if they want so badly to count every vote, why can't Miller have counted those who voted for him by writing in? How can they negate his write in votes and allowed Murks to be all these variations of close enough?
I want constancy everywhere.
If the law requires the spelling to be correct, then sue the Elections board. Sue them for breaking the law.
Simple. Has it occurred to the review committee that there were several that were absolutely identical handwriting? I bet there are some good lawyers on Joe's team that have already proven this through handwriting analysis.
Now, of course, the dems wouldn't allow someone writing in princess lisa's name multiple times. /sar
We are seeing our Republic being destroyed right before our eyes.
I'll bet that fewer than 25 percent of Americans even realize that it is happening. They will wake up one day and be surprised out of their freedoms.
Challenge every damn one! GOP had better step up here.
Hear me Cornyn? Legal docs have to have every i dotted and t crossed so how is this any different?
